Stop the pedestrianisation of Lumley road, Skegness
The Issue
The pedestrianisation of Lumley Road in Skegness sounds like a wonderful idea, where businesses can make use of more space with thousands of cyclists making use of the corridor.
Move away from the idealistic visions and reality sets in, Hundreds of cars are going to be diverted down side streets and ally ways... our roads simply cant cope with this, much like when Roman Bank was closed the likes of Hoylake Drive look not too far from the set of a war film. Cycling may increase, however the majority of the users of Lumley road are tourists, not many bring their bikes.
I fully support more sustainable transport, so ideas like reinstating the Burgh Le Marsh to Skegness cycle path would be welcomed. Alot of good could come from the grant money being offered, however this does not cut the mustard for the residents of this Town.
Many people have said that they heard nothing about the consultation so never got the chance to have their say.
The impact this will have on the surrounding streets will be huge.
visitors loves Skegness, for many the only way of getting here reliably is by car, because the trains are slow and outdated, the buses... the sun will have set before they arrive.
This project seems to me like a lackluster attempt to grab some government grant for the LCC coffers
